This
book is a year in the writing and features the DXing advice of several noted
DXers and technical gurus. This is not a brag book on my personal DX exploits,
but tried and true practical DX advice from those who have been there, done
that, and worked them all.

It
is intended for those entering into HFing and the wacky world of DXing. Old
timers not yet on the Internet will want this book as well.

I own all of the important books about DXing,
but this is the best! It is full of useful information, it is a compendium
worth not only for DXers but all Hams. This book should be in the shack. It is one of the
publications setting standards in ham radio. Highly recommended!

Hi Rod, It's the best investment
I've ever made in a ham radio book! When I opened the
box this book shipped in I was stunned by the depth of information so valuable
to any aspiring DXer. This is the best ham radio book in my collection.
A superb job of compiling an encyclopedic compendium about how to work rare
DX. Now you should do a video ... I'll
buy two! I'm so glad I found out about your book. Thanks so much for doing
such a great job!!! George W0QU

Rod,
I would like to thank you & yours first for your amazing book & secondly your
taste in "Post Cards". I enjoyed looking at both.

Again I must applaud you for the immense effort you have put in on your book.
The subject matter is of great help to Novice & Expert alike. It is like having
an "DX Elmer" always at your shoulder.

I just love the relaxed way you impart real DX knowledge to the deserving. Your
description on how you caught Malpelo was inspirational to this DX-ER. I got the
guy on 10 by abiding by the first law of DX,"Listen & listen again" He popped up
on 10 metres on a so called dead band, heard him & got him simplex 100 watts
into a mini beam at 30 feet. I have big planning problems. But using wires in
trees & lots of listening skill I have 310 countries confirmed & 5BDXCC. Again
my thanks for your wonderful book I will dip in & out of it at will.

Hi Rod. I'm new to ham radio since late Jan of
this year (KD7ZHS). I'm sure you've heard this 10,000 times, but your DX book
has been an incredible help to me. Ditto for your web site. Hope to meet you
on the air some day. Sincerely, Don Keller KD7ZHS

It's like, DXing
for Dummies

Best book for
DXing for newbies or perhaps anyone. I'm sure even the seasoned pro could
glean stuff from here. It's a must have for people like me who know
nothing. Well I know something now. This book is laid out logically and is
an easy read. I even chuckled a few times. His sense of humor is perfectly
timed. But mostly it's so handy and I keep referring too it daily while
DXing. It's got useful tricks to DXing and tips on equipment and
procedures. Really enjoyed his DXing secrets. IMHO, probably the most
important thing is the frequency listings and their uses. I'm hoping that
will help standardize things as far as where the DX is. But I'm amazed how
knowledgeable AC6V is on this subject. I've got tabs pasted all over it
for quick reference and it is right next to me in the ham shack. . .
usually opened to something like frequency list or the "Q"
codes. Tons of stuff in there like that. I'm VERY glad I bought this one
and I don't buy many "how to" books. N5WVN

What a great dx book! When I was called to jury duty I selected THIS BOOK to
read while waiting in the jury assembly room! It's a great way to learn
and review dxing techniques. Those dxing secrets are great (but don't tell
anyone!). I know a lot of work went into this book and I thank and respect all
those who worked on it. Another thing that makes it great is the humor mixed in
- in fact, I'm asking my local radio club if they want to go on a dxpedition to
Charcoal Island in the Barbecues IOTA group! Thank you Rod and everyone for a
great book. 73 Martin G. (Marty) Blaise (AG5T)

Rod, 5 star rating.
I just bought your DX
101 book, and although I already have snagged 225 countries and have DXCC, I
have found quite a few really neat hints and tips that will prove useful. I must
admit to reading a bunch of tips and thinking - "Hey that's right, that's
what I do . . . ".So
I'm learning new stuff and getting a kick out of the "secrets" that I
already stumbled upon. Your book will be invaluable to beginners. I hope you can
find a publisher who will bind using perfect bound
or some regular book binding. . .Best
DX and 73,Rich KY6R

Ed Note -- comb binding
allows the book to be updated as additions and suggestions come in. These are
incorporated into all new books -- books are printed on demand.

Although
licensed for several years, been away from Amateur Radio for about 10 years, so
getting restarted with all the new technology and information available was a
chore, but DX101X made things a whole lot more enjoyable.

The bottom line is this, I have read the book three times and extracted only a
small percentage of the available information; and, if you are either new to our
hobby or think you have a strong enough ego not to be humbled but to absorb the
information contained in this book, you are in for a very pleasant surprise!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rod ... Outstanding book!
Just got the book in the mail today. I've only had it a short time - but I can't put it down. This book is very well done - outstanding job!
I can tell a ton of care and time went into this book. What I like the most about it is it is full of Practical
information. I'm learning about stuff I've never really understood until I read this book. I hope you will keep adding to it an updating it. My two cents worth in just the first part of the book I've read - add the
Icom - 746 to your list of good contesting HF rigs. I have the Yaesu 1000mp and I'd put the 746's receiver up against it
any day. Keep up the great work and thanks for an outstanding book. Feel free to use my comments for your
testimonials.73 Dave Sass KC0IWV, Savage MN kc0iwv@mindspring.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi
Rod, Thanks
very much for sending me an advanced copy of DXing 101x per Paul DeCicco's NN6X request.You've really done an
outstanding job in writing a comprehensive text at a beginning and intermediate
level for dx'ing.There's a great
introductory section on contesting, one of my passions, that should serve the
budding contester very well indeed.Included
is a very complete treatment of all the important equipment features and performance parameters that the budding dx'er should give attention to when
selecting his gear. You've put
together in one place information that previously could only be gleaned from
countless sources.It really is a
unique and rich source of information! 73 Barry N1EU Delmar NY n1eu@yahoo.com---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rod, All I can say about DX'ing 101X is it is Fantastic.
An unbelievable reference for any dx'er. Thanks for your efforts. 73 de N1LQ,
David Hammond, Middleton, MA dhhdeh@concentric.net---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DX101 contains essential information for the beginner DXer.
It is also valuable for the DXer who is seeking to tap the wealth of resources available on the Internet. I am neither and still enjoy
reading thru this work. It is well written and deals with all relevant topics - it is a
valuable DX tool ! Josh, Grand Junction CO, N7XM n7xm@qsl.net---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rod, the book arrived and I haven't taken my nose out of it...... I know
that a lot of hard work went into getting this book out ...... You would be surprised at all the helpful information
that I've already acquired from reading your book......and I have only gotten through chapter five..... Thanks to you and to all
the people that assisted you in making it available to the Ham World......Best regards..Bill NU5C,

Hello Rod, Just would like to congratulate you on the book. I'm just almost halfway reading
it and I've already learned a lot. Considering that I just need a few countries to qualify for
DXCC Honor Roll, I still find your book to be an invaluable tool for dx'ers. Congratulations!
